The ending was very deliberately Blade Runner-ish. I see what they did there, but wish they'd been a little cleverer about it and less like; 'we're going to blatantly homage the most ambiguously nuanced film ever because we want to make sure you know we're being ambiguous about this'.

Tom Vs Lord Harry was a good bit of violence though.

I got mixed feelings about this series of Being Human. I really liked Tom and Hal and thought the actors did a brilliant job with them, but going for apocalypse level storylines missed what was really great about Being Human in the first place and didn't really do justice to the subtle way that the metaphors were originally treated and the actual palpable angst that the earlier episodes genuinely communicated. It was probably the right choice to end it.

Currently hooked on Lost Girl, which has a nice Buffy-ish vibe to it courtesy of leads Anna Silk and Zoie Palmer as respectively the kick-ass succubus and her doctor girlfriend plus Ksenia Solo as the best friend who brings on the one-liners like nobody's business.

Looking forward to Jane Campion's upcoming mystery mini-series Top of the Lake, which stars Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men) as a troubled police detective whose search for a missing pregnant 12-year-old leads to a confrontation with her own turbulent past.

The Buffy comparison - though apt - didn't really register with me when I watched it. Gilmore Girls was fresher in my mind at the time, and so for me, the dialogue in Veronica Mars was pinging Stars Hollow memories.

Veronica Mars was a really good series. I was actually sad to see it kick the bucket. I watched it because of the wife, kind of playing along, and ended up really enjoying it. I'll have to check out the kickstarter.

Just started watching "Vikings", which is on hulu (free for the next 3 days), and so far, quite interesting. Granted, the song they used for the opening credits is "If I Had a Heart" by Fever Ray, which scored them some major points, so I might be a wee bit biased.
